On the flip side, if you're worried your partner is afraid of commitment , it's important to keep your emotional health and well-being in mind. You may feel stressed, anxious, or unsatisfied that your partner isn't invested as much as you are. Waiting for someone who doesn't want a relationship at all could set you up for heartbreak in the future. When you're feeling stuck in the middle, take time to consider whether this person is actually worth waiting for—or if you're just standing by to see the outcome.
If you're not entirely confident that they're the best partner for you, the stress of not knowing may not outweigh the rewards. It's also important to consider that waiting for your partner could prevent you from pursuing other people. If they're emotionally unavailable , they may not be able to provide you with the commitment and support you're seeking. Keep a few considerations in mind: Does this person really demonstrate what it takes to build a lasting partnership with you?
Or are you infatuated with the idea of being together? If it's the latter, you might be better off parting ways to discover new relationships that can meet your desires. If this person isn't and has no plans to be "the one," you could be preventing yourself from finding what you really want. Make sure you're not closing the door to meaningful opportunities with someone else. When a person feels less ready for commitment while in a relationship, they are less likely to act in ways that support its endurance and a positive, sustaining connection.
If your partner isn't ready for a serious commitment, it's important to discuss your desires with them to ensure the waiting period doesn't last indefinitely. Nicholson suggests that when you're considering whether to be a committed couple , it may be more helpful to decide if you're actually acting like one. Generally, individuals who are ready for a commitment tend to behave in ways that are more open toward their partner and that enhances the relationship," Nicholson says.
While you may think your partner only needs a short time to make their decision, you could end up waiting months—or longer—if you haven't discussed where you stand. Once you've considered these points when feeling unsure about your partner, it's time to look internally to make your choice.
Are you able to wait for this person to decide what they want, even if that means being in a constant state of limbo? If you can't imagine a future without them, then it might be right to give them the time they need. Just take care to think of yourself and ensure the relationship you're building can lead to a healthy partnership rather than a dynamic where your needs are dismissed. Be sure to communicate your own expected timelines for the relationship: Your happiness matters, too.

Most participants 76 percent had been in their relationships for more than one year, and nearly all of them 93 percent reported having had sex with their partners.
Of those sexually active, a slight majority 51 percent said they waited a few weeks before having sex, while just over one-third 38 percent had sex either on the first date or within the first couple of weeks.
The remaining 11 percent had sex before they even went on their first date. Did the timing of sex matter in terms of how people felt about their relationships? Not in a meaningful way. There were only minor differences between the groups, with those who had sex earlier tending to be slightly less satisfied. However, all of the groups were highly satisfied on average. The fact that those who had sex earlier were a little less happy is to be expected based on research showing that sexual passion and excitement tend to decline over the course of a relationship.
So if you start having sex sooner, the passion will wear off a little faster unless you put in the work to keep it going which you can do by regularly mixing it up in the bedroom. Unrestricted people are more comfortable with casual sex, and they tend to report higher sex drives and greater numbers of sex partners over the course of their lives. As a result, the amount of time it takes for them to be comfortable having sex with a new partner is much shorter than it is for someone with a restricted orientation.
If you put a restricted and an unrestricted person together, it will likely be challenging for them to get on the same page. If your partner wants to wait longer than you do, it "doesn't have to be a dealbreaker," adds Courtney Kocak, Alexandra's co-host at Private Parts Unknown. After three-plus months, we were finally able to consummate our relationship, and it was totally worth the wait.
According to Scott-Hudson, you should already discuss it by the third date in order to save time and energy. If the person you're waiting for has baggage from a bad relationship or issues from childhood, it's going to effect how they view relationships and commitment. You can't force someone to work through their issues if they don't want to. According to Witmer, you also can't force a person to grow up when you want them to. Don't compromise to keep the non-relationship person in their life.
These are also signs that they don't deserve your time and attention. Waiting for someone to come around can work out for some people, but it's not a guarantee. If you're really set on one specific person, then go for it.
The important thing here is to always put yourself first. Think about what makes you happy. If a situation is is only making you feel anxious and discouraged, ask yourself if your partner really is worth it. Chances are, they're not.
